#Flats #overwatch2 #overwatch #symmetra
Thanks for sharing our video with your audience Flats! We'll never forget old Symmetra and the many changes she has underwent.
Your content is 🔥🔥🔥. Im waiting for World Cup breakdowns))
Real ones remember playing No Limits with 6 Symmetras and getting 6 shield generators so that every Symmetra had 650 health
Gotta throw in at least one torb so all the shields would act like armor.
I remember that. Would that be good times or bad times.
Not even a Winton army could stop us if we go charged up
Car wash on No Limits
Iiiiive got the the feeling they have a shieeeels generator
For anyone that doesn't know about Sym's autolock beam it was worse than Moira's softlock because as long as they were in front of your character model it would stay attached while Moira has to at least aim slightly. That's also why you see the beam curve off screen a few times during this video.
And it ramped up damage the longer the sym was attached. It was so bad.
As much as i hate her primary fire now I never wish for the old one to return
As a former Moira main, I challenge the blasphemous accusations of "slight aiming". The gentleman surely speaks of directional corrections which holds no resemblance to the aforementioned depravities
It was so bs, playing on console so many people went on her and just dominated because she was like one of the few heroes you could aim properly with a controller. I partied when they removed the lock on
Ahhh good times.....😭😭😭
The old car wash was a menace sometimes. You just have a lone tracer or soldier going for the flank and dying in like a second.
Ill never forget the sym "sigma barrier shield" that existed for about 2 months
For a minute they were just throwing thing at the wall
@@cruzerro3451for sure lol
Sym’s barrier walked for Sig’s shield to run
@@MysteriousGir yup
I actually loved that ability
IM BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE THEY GOT A SHEEEEEEEEELD GENERATAH
I miss shield gen so much…
Flats I need you to know that as a former top 500 symmetra main that the loss of projectile barrier was a bad move for symmetra she used to actually have a chance against characters like soldier 76 and roadhog up close with a timely barrier blocking their hook or rocket I promise it was an incredible move
Was it really consistently good?
@@sera48g I mean I wasn't nearly scared of road hog
hard carried "top 500" whining about an inferior hero, she never stood a chance against anyone who actually knew how to play the game
@@TheNightman. I think this might be the dumbest comment I have ever received
Your comment makes no sense. Your peobably one trick 76 or sojourn lmao weirdo @@TheNightman.
Back when Sym left click could carry bodies.
Or basketball of doom
They should've kept Symmetra as a Support, she could've set a precedent that Supports don't have to just heal and maybe the balance and existence of the class could've moved in a different direction.
Or maybe it'd be a Lucio case, where she has minimal healing, but makes up for it in other utilities! But eh
Nah, because then we might have the old problem of "no one picked a healer, just support"
But if they gave her Yari's pylon it would have been insane. They could make her ult the ability to swap btwn healing or dps turrets, like a dance.
This is such a nothing post lol did you even play the game at all?
@@polar6066huh
@@nailinthefashion If they returned her old primary fire, they could make it give shields to teammates and leave the alt fire for attacking, she can have a shields bar and her turrets would be the source that allows her to continually give shields.
I'll never forget when Symmetra was basically a pyro with aimbot.
Oh I miss classic overwatch 1 so much, classic sym, mccree's flashbang, roadhog being useful, the crazy comebacks with mercy ult
people who fear double shield fear sym the most during that time
That volskaya shield gen strat was so good i miss it so much
Honest I really think supports sym could have worked if they focused on her utility
Yeah but in ow support is kinda the only healers and since she didn’t heal she felt out of place
It would have been really fun too tbh
She was support because she could give people shield
Shield gen was the support. Sym was the dps added with nerfed stats because of it
I kinda miss the release era where literally everyone was dogshit at the game.
same but with fortnite 😭
First month or two of Apex was so good 😢
Symm has always been the best hero in the game. So absurd and silly and too much fun. I love her so much.
i think you are the 1st person to say sym is fun but if you like who am i, also i think she is kinda meh in this state of the game she was realy goodmelting barriers, she just exists
she was dogshit, she is dogshit, shitmetra has NEVER been the best at anything other than being a failure, only hero that should have been deleted
OW1 memories are so good. The map, play style and community are just better. Sym was a menace back in the day
The 6 turret kill rooms were so funny
Oh my the basket ball that is a craz I forgot about it that shit was funny
Who remembers the hook and cook
Blizzard really needs to put Symmetra back in the support role because she can't heal, which is the only reason she was made a DPS hero. I think being a support hero should be more about the unique abilities you bring to the role than just healing your team.
as a symm main, thx for the memories
Oh i hope this vid shows the grac gun part of the beam, yeeting bodies off cliffs, catching basketballs in the spawns, TURRETS ATTACHED TO BASKETBALLS
OMG i miss OG Symm....
17:30 this was when i left team chat for good and just started playing in silence when solo queue. Odd enough i went from gold to diamond, who woulda thunk unplugging the microphone would help me rank up?
To this day i still only use pings for communication.
Symm was always so annoying on Defense. She just built a death nest and sat in it.
I’ve been playing since March 2019 and I did NOT know about half of this
Amazing how far the game has come
On top of all that with Brig giving Zen 425hp, her rally armor was also bugged to mitigate more damage, and people think others are exaggerating about Brig being by far the most broken release hero.
I started Overwatch sometime in late 2017/early 2018 so I got in at the perfect time to experience a lot of the characters in their pre and post rework states
I REALLY liked Sym v2 and played her a bunch, but understand why they reworked her
The floating shield was my favorite part of her kit and the slow ass orb was so funny
I like her as a character a lot, but really don’t like modern Sym as much
I wonder where the game would have gone had they kept her as a support without ever giving her direct healing, like would they have made other supports with the same kind of idea
Man i kinda miss the shield application she used to have, same with Torb's armor. It was always satisfying to help my teammates even a little
its weird that there was damage flinch back then, but at the same time I kinda miss that bc I die too often while I dont realize im taking damage
Is it bad that I think OG Sym (approximately) sounds like a way more fun and interesting character design than current Sym?
i got here like season 4 wtfff sym was a support character?!?!?
Man I'll never forget learning sym and maining her in 2017 on my college roommates xbox. I would just shred through the enemy with that autolock beam
I still have Junkrats voice in my head saying “I have a feeling they have a SHIEEELD GENERATAH!” And I still want to rip off my ears anytime I think of it.
1s overshield isnt bad for a support hero. Lifeweaver does like 40 per second of health. Basically thats symm way of healing
when I see this, I miss 6v6 sooo much 😢
25:42 shame it didn't do ATTACKER shield gen spots.
I vividly recall an evil ATTACKER shield gen spot on Junkertown, partially glitched out of the map, pretty much just outside attacker's FIRST spawn, that stretched all the way to THIRD point capture.
There simply wasn't a way for defenders to destroy it unless they had a sombra or pharah willing to travel to Narnia for the next minute and a half
I love the people typing in chat that are flaming
IMAGINE REIN WITH A FLAMETHROWER
Paladins
Man I totally forgot she had the shield generator, let alone the two ultimates. How time flies…..
What was crazier tho was when your entire team could go Sym and just have turrets everywhere. Then all use shield gens to have the health of a tank player.
Sym has always been my favorite hero! So much fun to play!
I have a hard time hitting kiri, tracer, illari etc
Small skinny hurtboxes, but with Sym it's unique because not only is she kinda skinny but I can't fucking see because there's is a beam of light directly in my eyes
man I miss playing og sym on console, even though I had a pc acount at the time
I miss the old sym tp tbh. Besides the occasional trolling, it was actually really fun to go behind the enemy team and put the TP there so your team could die and then immediately flank them after respawning.
Juggernaut is totally gonna be Mauga
There was a small window of time you could stack brig rally, brig pack, torb pack and shield gen.
150+75+75+75=425
Yeah I totally forgot how horrifying she was. I will never forget how fast people melted on attack in Eichenwalde.
SYM MAINS, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS??? we have been through a lot since 2016 😭😭😭
HEY
WE'VE BEEN THRU ALOTTT 😭
I love classic sym. I used ti have 70% win rate with her. It was a defensive monster
So you were hard carried 70% of the time by your team
I remember when torb, sym, and kind of bastion were considered throw picks and you were straight up hated for playing them lmao
Wow I didn't know Brigitte could give that much armour. I started playing in 2016 but didn't start playing Brigitte until OW2.
Juggernaut could be an early version of what turned into Bob or am I crazy?
I remember being so sad when they took out the shield buff, it was so boring but to my 14 year old brain it was free value
And now Moira is essentially the old Symm. Moira's got the auto-lock primary attack, and the slow moving orbs. I would really like to see Moira get nerfed. Just don't make her primary attack auto-lock. She should get the Symm treatment and have to aim her beam and it gets a little stronger the longer you hold it on an enemy.
Moira has never been an auto lock hero, her beam is not a lockon or auto aim, actually fucking pay attention kid, it's been disproven so many goddamn times
Dude I lowkey miss the old sym shield generator
:( I miss sym 2.0. I know she wasn't great, but it was so fun sneaking around and getting the drop on some supports getting full charge and tearing through the whole team.
rip shield gen, rip spammable barrier piercing projectile. All im gonna say is rhat before that sym rework no one complained about double barrier
flats saying symms deployable shield she sends forward was useless legitimately hurts me, as an example if you have good prediction skills and reaction time i cannot tell you the amount of times i used to use it to block flashbang or high noon among many other abilities or ults, that shield was the single best ability she ever had
Why doesn't anyone talk about the minutes of no audio?
Probably because the music is copyrighted
I got a feeling theyve got a SHEEEIILD generator!
Sym 2.0 was peak Sym.
I agree that the current iterations of sym is the best she's ever been. Having said that, I'm tired of all the rework and tweaks some heroes are getting. It means i have to relearn (in cases of major reworks) or readjust (in cases of tweaks) how i play.
I'm, as fitzy puts it, a "silly hero main" and my roster consists of sym, sombra, mei, mercy if i had to play support, and orisa if i had to play tank. I understand that some heroes had to be reworked to fit ow2 but come on how many times do i have to learn to play sombra all over again? Mei had no stun on primary fire, and then there's deep chill, and then there's no deep chill again. How many times have mercy GA been changed? Sym's turret bombing and death gate is no longer the optimal play, scouting turret is, oh and also now it's better to poke with m2 instead of lasering bitches slay the house down boots.
I wonder how doom, bastion, torb, and brig mains feel about their constant reworks and tweaks. I know the heroes usually get fine tuned to their best version, but the inevitable involuntary eyeroll at every patch note is real.
We play the exact same characters LOL so I totally get and relate to your experience. It's kind of fun to have alot of changes but it's also really frustrating because it gets too much. It's even worse when something I love gets reworked and replaced with someone I dislike.
Project Titan’s Juggernaut makes me think of Mauga. Could just be me tho.
It’s just like Fernando from paladins lol
God old Sym was so much fun idc
my OG main
Ah yes the car wash
My friend was a Sym Main back when the game came out she was upset with rework.😂😂
man i fuckin miss the old sym
Brig packs always decayed though from memory?
I miss shield gen and piercing shot.... and autolock beam... god i miss old sym
Look like they got a shieeeeeeld generator
Wasn't genjis concept also split for hanzos character like he had a bow also female genji lmao
I miss her flying shield
How can you call sym’s old shield useless when it is so similar to sigma shield? Plus it made it super easy for brawl comps to advance forward
I think *everyone* forgets the shield enhancement she had.
She had projected barrier and her "Double Ultimate" before the end of the same year.
Symm used to be so great. She's degraded so hard, it's character assassination.
15:28 2nd floor bot needs to be brought back. It was the only bot that allows you to practice jumping on height and fighting an opponent in a doorway (it spawned in the corner where players would hide irl)
I miss support sim *not the 6 turrets though*
Akshon esports make really good video!
17:44 that's not that different than today. sure they're not barriers but god damn it i still can't see shit with all the visual clutter 😂
As a symmetra main and a horrible person, i think double shield should come back
Why has flats not reacted to usa beating japan after super got off the bench
I miss stevo’s sym
Kinda wish they would bring back Anubis.
Every time I see it I am reminded of all the fun I had on that map. It was beautiful.
I remember Support Symmetra, I never understood why
Simple her tools are ment to support the team which seems way more interesting then the current overwatch we got now where all support means just heal
@@rav_productions2136 oh Like how Sniper in TF2 or Spy in TF2 they are listed as Support because they do little things to support the team like knocking off a player on the other team that is dominating or messing with Engineers
@@ATATDRIVER exactly
10:50 dude PAUSE THE VIDEO DURING TEXT TO SPEECH. The noise overstim gave me a headache.
Shield gen symm was the best symm. Idc what all you aim = skill people say.
And for the love of God, the thing was NOT LOCK ON. It just had a HUGE hitbox.
People misunderstanding how symm actially worked was what killed her.
i miss lock on sym :(
10:17 a support has the right to kill supports and she was one
To be fair, she does damage like a supprt, aka, too much lol
omg car wash :O u could get team kills with her
Masters ssn 6 (OW1) here, came back on the 31st on a whim right as healers got nerfed.
Glad I didn't play OW2 ssn 6 as tanks must of felt like shitaki - still weird with only 1 tank. Although it definitely feels like the matches are really determined by tank counter (slightly...) and healer composition with so many (now) - so....
Give me that tank + healer comp comparison videos, which tank with which healer beats what tanks with what healers that is where the gold is at. They did absolutely cook with the patch on Halloween tho..
Better ultimate than this new one
Support BTW XD
All these changes just ruined Overwatch. Give me back my original symmetras and brigs.
Bring back Zen meta
maybe mauga will be like the og project titan juggernaut with a flamethrower..
Can we get mama hong please blizzard lol
Ooh, the experience of toxicity towards sym players :D good times....
If I ever played overwatch I would be a sym-one trick
And i would hate you
hai hai hai haihai haihai haihai >_
